Arrival of the President. c
The sailing' of I lie fleet was preceded
by a receplion on llie deck of v
'I he Mayflower, which shortly after 8 h
oViocU steamed into the centre <1
of the anchored fleet. The i
president warmly greeted the four I
admirals and the sixteen (ommanding '
ollicers of the fleet as they climbed |
ii I > the starboard gangway of the a
. yacht. lie had a word of confi'denee
and well-wishing for all, but
made no formal address. *1
The inspiring sight of the vessels c
gaily dressed at anchor and wailing :i
the word to go put the president in J"
rare good spirits. While the May- i
flower was coming into position and I
waiting for the receplion to begin
the president paced rapidly up and I
down the decks, anxious to obtain a (
view of I lie great .toublc squadron e
from even possible vantage point. I
"Did Von ever sec such a fleet? a
And such a day? Isn't it niagniliceut ? '
Oughtn't we nil to fell proud'/" ex- i
claimed I he presideiil. In the midst s
of the reception to (lie higher ollicers |
he; se.il lor the coxswain of the It
l.ouisiam.i 's l.iunch and through him
dispntdied a special message of I
greet i ii*.:' to thai -11 i |?*-? crew. When <|
the surprised and embarrassed cox- |
swain. Seaman William ('handler. >
had been presented to Mrs. House- a
veil a^ well as io the president a.id |
had airain clambored into his launch y
the presidiMit said r" those aboil! h
hitn :
'"I tell \ on our enlisted men are n
everything. I hey are perfectly lnil- v
ly and thc\ ;ire up to everything re- a
quired of them. This is indeed a \
great fleet and a real day." ?i
Reception on tho Mayflower. a
Admiral Kvnns, comman ler-inchiet
of Ih?' departing fl'el, was (lie i
Jirsl < ! ||ie | |;ig nfli.-ers to be piped \
over the side of the Mayflower, lie
hurried Io where I he president stood 1
waiting and. bringing his right hand I
to saint ing position, paid hi-> formal I
respe. is a id gave his personal as- ; I
suranee that the ships of iiis com 'I
maud were ready for their trip Io I
the other side of the hemisphere. I
President Roosevelt acknowledged I
He -alnle with lifted hat an ! accept- <
ed the formal words of greet ill"; as !
still Iv jis they were nllered. Then, :
with the brief ceremony ended, he
grasped Admiral Kvan's hand and |
gave if the heartiest of shakes. The i
two conversed together informally >
for a moment or I wo until other ar- <
riving flag and commanding officers I
s'et the reception into full swing. ;
"When Admiral Kvans was about to i
take his leave and get (lie fleel n:i- I
der way the president followed him, I
to the gangway and then called him :
aside for nearly five minutes of .
earnest consultation.
In parting with the ollicers of the <
fleet President Roosevelt, was wholly t
informal and each had a warm hand- i
el i p. a grasp of (he uniformed i
si) -rider and heartv "good-by,. old
feli iv, and good luck." i
